1. Acceptance of Terms
Welcome to VRL.
These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the VRL mobile application (the “App”), the website at https://vrlapp.com, and related services (collectively, the “Service”).
VRL is developed and operated by an independent individual developer (the “Developer,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).
By downloading, accessing, or using VRL, you agree to these Terms.
If you do not agree to these Terms, please do not use the Service.
Your use of VRL is also subject to our Privacy Policy, available at:
2. Description of the Service
VRL is a video-editing application that allows users to add visual effects to their own video content.
Features may include:
- Animated reaction and like-style overlays
- Custom avatar overlays
- Decorative screen effects
- Local video editing and processing
- Video export
- Saving edited videos to the device’s Photos library
VRL is intended to help users create visually engaging content.
The App is not a social network, advertising platform, audience analytics service, or guaranteed growth service.
We may add, modify, suspend, or discontinue features over time, subject to applicable law.
3. Eligibility
You may use VRL only if you are legally permitted to do so under applicable laws and any applicable App Store requirements.
If you are under the age of legal majority in your jurisdiction, you should review these Terms with a parent or legal guardian where required.
You are responsible for ensuring that your use of the App complies with applicable laws.
4. User Content and Ownership
4.1 Your Content
You retain ownership of the videos, photographs, avatar images, and other original content that you import into VRL (“User Content”).
Using VRL does not transfer ownership of your User Content to the Developer.
4.2 Permission to Use Content
You are responsible for ensuring that you have all necessary rights and permissions to use, edit, reproduce, export, and distribute your User Content.
You must not use content in a manner that infringes another person’s copyright, trademark, privacy, publicity, or other legal rights.
4.3 Local Processing
VRL processes User Content locally on your device.
The current version of the App does not upload User Content to VRL-operated servers.
We do not claim ownership of videos you create using VRL.
4.4 Exported Content
You are responsible for reviewing your exported videos before publishing or sharing them.
You are also responsible for ensuring that the final content complies with the rules of any platform on which you publish it.
5. Visual Effects and Simulated Interactions
VRL includes visual effects that may resemble interface elements, reactions, notifications, or other attention-grabbing graphics.
These elements are simulated visual effects.
They do not represent verified actions, endorsements, interactions, or notifications from actual people, brands, social networks, or other third parties.
In particular:
- A simulated like does not mean that a real person liked your content.
- An avatar overlay does not establish that the depicted person or organization interacted with your video.
- Decorative effects do not represent actual device or platform events.
You are solely responsible for the context in which you use and publish these effects.
You must not use VRL to impersonate another person, falsely imply endorsement, commit fraud, or materially mislead viewers in violation of applicable law.
6. Prohibited Uses
You agree not to use VRL to:
- Violate applicable laws or regulations.
- Infringe intellectual property or privacy rights.
- Impersonate individuals, companies, or organizations.
- Falsely suggest sponsorship, approval, affiliation, or endorsement.
- Create fraudulent or unlawfully deceptive content.
- Harass, threaten, defame, or unlawfully target another person.
- Distribute malicious, illegal, or otherwise prohibited content.
- Circumvent security measures or interfere with the App’s operation.
- Reverse engineer, decompile, or modify the App except where expressly permitted by applicable law.
- Use the Service in a way that violates the applicable rules of third-party platforms.
We do not control how users distribute videos after export and are not responsible for independently published User Content.
7. No Guarantee of Views or Engagement
VRL provides creative video-editing tools.
We do not guarantee that using VRL will increase:
- Video views
- Reach or impressions
- Watch time or retention
- Engagement
- Followers or subscribers
- Click-through rates
- Conversion rates
- Revenue or monetization
Actual results depend on numerous factors outside our control, including content quality, audience behavior, platform algorithms, distribution, and timing.
Any examples, demonstrations, sample metrics, or illustrative comparisons presented within VRL or its promotional materials are provided for demonstration purposes only.
They should not be interpreted as promises, verified performance outcomes, or guarantees of future results.
8. Third-Party Platforms and Services
VRL is an independent application.
Unless expressly stated otherwise, VRL is not affiliated with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or officially connected to Instagram, TikTok, Meta, Apple, or any other social media platform or third-party brand.
Third-party names and trademarks belong to their respective owners.
If you publish videos created with VRL on another platform, your use of that platform is governed by its own terms, policies, and community guidelines.
We do not guarantee that every effect or exported video will be accepted by every third-party platform.
9. Intellectual Property
The VRL application, including its software, interface design, branding, original graphics, and other materials provided by the Developer, is protected by applicable intellectual property laws.
Except for your User Content and third-party materials, the Developer or applicable rights holders retain their respective rights in these materials.
Subject to these Terms and applicable law, you receive a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to use the App for its intended purposes.
You may use videos lawfully created and exported with VRL for personal or commercial purposes, provided that you have the necessary rights to all included content and comply with applicable laws and third-party platform rules.
This permission does not grant you ownership of VRL’s software, branding, or standalone proprietary assets.
10. App Availability and Compatibility
We aim to provide a reliable application but do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation.
Certain features depend on:
- Device compatibility
- Operating-system version
- Available device storage
- Media format compatibility
- Device permissions
- Apple system services
Some videos or media formats may not be supported.
Export performance and quality may vary depending on the source media and device capabilities.
You are responsible for maintaining appropriate backups of important original media.
11. Data and Local Storage
VRL uses local device storage to process media and preserve certain preferences and custom avatar files.
Uninstalling the App, clearing device storage, or changing devices may result in the loss of locally stored App data.
We do not guarantee recovery of locally stored files or settings.
Exported videos saved to your Photos library are managed separately by Apple’s Photos system.
For further information, please review our Privacy Policy:
12. Fees and Purchases
The availability and pricing of VRL are determined by the App Store listing and any purchase terms presented to you at the time of purchase.
If VRL is offered free of charge, no payment is required for the features described as free.
If paid features, subscriptions, or in-app purchases are introduced, applicable pricing, billing periods, and purchase conditions will be disclosed before purchase.
Payments made through Apple’s App Store are subject to Apple’s applicable billing, cancellation, and refund processes.
Nothing in these Terms limits any mandatory refund or consumer rights provided by applicable law.
13. Updates and Changes
We may release updates to improve performance, fix bugs, introduce features, or address security and compatibility issues.
We may also change or discontinue parts of the Service, subject to applicable law and any commitments made to users.
Continued use of the Service after updated Terms become effective constitutes acceptance to the extent permitted by applicable law.
Where affirmative consent or additional notice is required, we will follow the applicable requirements.
14. Disclaimer of Warranties
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, VRL is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.
We make no guarantee that the Service will be uninterrupted, completely secure, free from errors, or compatible with every device or media file.
We do not guarantee any particular social media performance, audience growth, or commercial outcome.
Nothing in this section excludes warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded under applicable consumer protection laws.
15. Limitation of Liability
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Developer will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of or inability to use VRL.
This may include loss of profits, business opportunities, expected engagement, or data, where exclusion of such losses is legally permitted.
The Developer is not responsible for losses resulting from unauthorized use of third-party content, violations of platform rules, or misleading content published by users.
Nothing in these Terms excludes or limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or limited, including liability arising from fraud, intentional misconduct, or other non-excludable legal obligations.
Your mandatory statutory rights remain unaffected.
16. Responsibility for Claims
You are responsible for your use of VRL and the content you create and distribute.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify the Developer against third-party claims, damages, and reasonable expenses arising from your unlawful use of the Service, infringement of third-party rights, or material violation of these Terms.
This provision does not apply where such responsibility would be prohibited by applicable consumer protection laws.
17. Termination
You may stop using VRL at any time by uninstalling the App.
We may restrict or discontinue the Service where reasonably necessary for legal, security, or operational reasons, subject to applicable law.
Because the current version of VRL does not use user accounts, there is no account cancellation process.
Termination does not affect rights or obligations that by their nature should survive termination, including applicable intellectual property rights and legal claims.
18. Governing Law and Consumer Rights
These Terms are interpreted in accordance with applicable law.
Nothing in these Terms deprives you of mandatory consumer protection rights or other legal protections that apply in your country or region of residence.
Any disputes will be handled by courts or other competent authorities having jurisdiction under applicable law.
19. Apple App Store Terms
If you download VRL through Apple’s App Store, the following provisions apply.
These Terms are between you and the Developer, not Apple.
The Developer, rather than Apple, is responsible for the App and its content, subject to applicable law.
Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support services for the App.
To the extent permitted by applicable law, Apple is not responsible for addressing claims relating to the App, including product liability, regulatory compliance, or consumer protection claims.
The Developer is responsible for addressing claims that the App infringes third-party intellectual property rights, subject to applicable law.
You must comply with applicable third-party terms when using the App.
Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these Terms and may enforce the applicable provisions against you.
These Terms supplement, and do not replace, Apple’s applicable App Store terms and usage rules.
